In our second hour…

Progressive candidates who won Bay Area races…

Chris Daly, San Francisco District 6 Supervisor, kept his seat. So did Kriss Worthington, city councilmember for Berkeley’s District 6. And, Richmond city councilmember Gayle McLaughlin was elected mayor of that city, making her the first Green Party mayor in the Bay Area, and the first Green Party mayor of any major U.S. city.
